Philips Avent - Feeding bottle Natural response 3.0 260ml

Philips Avent Natural Response – a bottle for your baby’s natural drinking rhythm

Are you looking for a good bottle for breastfeeding? The Philips Avent Natural Response bottle is designed to mimic the natural way of drinking from the breast as much as possible. Unlike many traditional bottles, the Natural Response bottle does not continuously release milk. Milk is only released when your baby is actively drinking. This means your baby can regulate their drinking and take breaks to breathe and swallow.

Wide and soft bottle nipple that resembles the breast

The wide base of the Natural Response bottle nipple mimics the shape of the breast and helps your baby to latch on naturally. The soft and flexible silicone nipple adapts to your baby’s mouth and makes feeding time comfortable. The features of the Natural Response bottle can make it easier for your baby to transition from breast to bottle and back to breast when your baby is both breastfed and bottle-fed.

Milk only flows when baby drinks

The Natural Response bottle nipple works differently than many other bottles.
The nipple only releases milk when baby is actively sucking. When baby stops drinking, the milk flow stops.

This allows baby to:

• suck at their own pace
• swallow calmly
• breathe between drinks
• take natural breaks
• regulate their own feeding rhythm.

The Natural Response may feel different to a regular bottle at first. It is normal for your baby to need a few feedings to get used to the new nipple.

Anti-colic valve reduces air swallowing

The Natural Response bottle nipple has an anti-colic valve, which is designed to keep air out of your baby's stomach during feeding. This can help reduce the stomach upset and discomfort associated with air swallowing.

The package includes a Natural Response Flow 3 bottle teat, which is suitable for use from babys 1 months+. However, babies vary in their sucking strength and drinking rate. Therefore, it is not a good idea to choose the appropriate flow rate based on the baby's age alone. For example, if your baby drinks so fast that milk drips from the corners of his mouth during feeding, you can try the slower-flowing Natural Response Flow 2 bottle teat, which is sold separately.

Sterilizing the bottle

The Philips Avent Natural Response bottle can be easily sterilized. Boil water and let the bottle parts stand in boiling water for about 5 minutes. The bottle is also dishwasher safe.

Frequently asked questions about the Avent Natural Response bottle

Which bottle is best for breastfeeding?

When breastfeeding, you should look for a bottle that supports your baby's own sucking, swallowing and breathing rhythm. The Philips Avent Natural Response is specifically designed to make it easier to combine breast and bottle feeding.

What makes the Avent Natural Response bottle different?

The biggest difference to a traditional bottle is the milk flow. The Natural Response teat only flows when your baby is actively drinking. When your baby takes a break, the milk flow also stops.

What if your baby is leaking milk?

If your baby is drinking very quickly and milk is leaking from the corners of their mouth, the flow may be too fast for your baby. In this case, you can try the slower-flowing Natural Response Flow 1 bottle teat.

Will old Avent Natural teats fit this bottle?

Yes. The Philips Avent Natural Response bottle is compatible with both the Natural Response and previous Natural teats.

Is the Avent Natural Response the best bottle for your baby?

There is no single best bottle for all babies, as babies have different sucking habits and preferences. The Philips Avent Natural Response is a particularly good option when you are looking for a bottle for your newborn or want to combine breastfeeding and bottle feeding, as your baby regulates the flow of milk through their active sucking.
